Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The full sonographic JVPW at rest will be compared between patients and healthy controls. Invasive measurement of right ventricular end-diastolic pressure (RVEDP) through RHC will be analyzed to determine whether RVEDP can be predicted using JVPW characteristics. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| JVPW assessments in patients after intravenous saline. Invasive hemodynamic parameters using RHC. | — |
